Abstract
IT is known that erythrocytes from some fowls are agglutinated by certain lipid preparations and by components of vaccinia and ectromelia viruses. The vaccinia hæmagglutination is inhibited by sera of rabbits infected with the virus, but not significantly by those of normal rabbits. In contrast, agglutination by common lipid preparations, such as those used by Stone1, is inhibited by normal rabbit sera to a relatively high titre.
